Internet Privacy
Statement
Introduction
Buchbinder Tunick & Co LLP.(BT &
Co.) is committed to your right to
privacy. Our goal in creating the
buchbinder.com website is to provide you
with a valuable resource that you are
comfortable using with the understanding
that your private information will be
respected and protected.
Privacy is an important issue for us. We
want you to understand how we work to
protect your privacy, how we collect and
use information about you and the steps
we take to safeguard that information.
This privacy policy discusses how we
collect, protect, use and share
information gathered about you on our
website.
Background
Our main goal for collecting information
is to provide our visitors with a better
experience when using our website. We
recognize that your information is
valuable and we take all reasonable
measures to protect your information
while it is in our care.
We collect very little personally
identifiable information from visitors to
our website. Usually, such data is only
collected when a visitor requests
additional information, participates in a
survey, registers for specialized areas
of the website, or submits a resume.
We never use or share the personally
identifiable information we solicit from
you in ways unrelated to the intended
purpose stated at the time the
information is collected without also
providing you an opportunity to opt-out
or otherwise prohibit such unrelated
uses. However, if you provide us with
unsolicited sensitive personal data, you
consent to our using the data subject to
applicable law, this Privacy Statement
and our Terms of Use Statement.
Our policy is not to share personally
identifiable information with third
parties, unless
1.
it is required by law, through subpoena,
search warrant or other legal
process
2.
disclosure to such third parties was the
intended purpose for which you submitted
the information or
3.
disclosure to such third parties occurred
after notifying you and providing you
with an opportunity to opt-out or
otherwise prohibit such
disclosure.
BT
& Co. will not, under any
circumstances, sell, give or make
generally available any personal
information collected from our
Website.
What Type of Information Do We
Collect?
Information You Provide
You will always be notified when we
request personally identifiable
information. This information will only
be collected via a request form that will
specify the type of information requested
and its intended uses. Personally
identifiable information includes your
name, address, phone number and e-mail
address.
Please be aware that you can choose not
to provide personally identifiable
information, but you may not be able to
take advantage of many of the custom
features of our website.
There are a few activities on our
website where the collection of
personally identifiable information is
required. We use the information that you
provide for such purposes as responding
to your requests, customizing website
features for you, improving this website
and communicating with you. The following
is a brief description of some of the
activities on our website that require
personally identifiable information:
Surveys
From time to time we may ask our website
visitors to participate in surveys.
Participation in these surveys is
completely voluntary. Therefore, you have
a choice whether or not to disclose
information. Unless otherwise stated on
the information form, we use survey
information to monitor or improve our
website.
Newsletters
If you wish to subscribe to our
newsletters, we ask for contact
information (such as your name and email
address).
Registration Forms
This website may include registration
forms for various features and services
available on this website. To access
these features or services, you will be
required to fill out a registration form
to give us information so that we may
contact you (such as your name and email
address). We use this information to
contact you about the services on our
website for which you have expressed an
interest.
E-mail Communications
We use e-mail addresses to provide
information to our customers and our
website visitors that have requested
information. To help us make e-mails more
useful and interesting, we often receive
a confirmation when you open e-mail from
Buchbinder.com if your computer supports
such capabilities.
Information We Automatically
Collect
When you visit our website, our server
may collect (logs) certain types of data
to improve the content and services
offered to visitors. Such data is
reported on an aggregate, anonymous
basis, and we associate no personal
information with this data. Such data may
include: how many people visit our
website; the pages they visit; how long
they stay on our website, and the domain
name of the website visitors connect from
(e.g., yahoo.com). Personal information,
such as your name and e-mail address, is
not included in this analysis. Unless you
provide it, we do not collect or know
your name or e-mail address. The
following is a brief description of some
of the types of data we collect:
Logs
We review the logs retrieved from our
website to constantly improve the value
of the materials available to you. Our
website logs do not contain any
personally identifiable information, and
we make no attempt to link them with the
individuals that actually browse the
website. These website logs help us
determine what is most effective about
our website, help us identify ways to
improve it, and eventually, to determine
how we can tailor the buchbinder.com
website to meet our visitors’
needs.
IP Addresses
We use the Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses collected in our logs to
analyze trends, administer the website,
track a user’s movements and gather
broad demographic information for
aggregate use. “Aggregate
use” means that information from
all users is collected and gathered into
a whole unit so that information as a
whole can be used. We do not link IP
addresses to personally identifiable
information.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use
“cookies” to allow visitors
to move quickly through the
buchbinder.com website. Cookies are small
text files that are used to save and
retrieve information about your visit to
our website. Cookies are transferred from
our website to your computer via your web
browser. A cookie generated by our
website contains no information about you
and does not gather information from your
computer. It contains only an
alphanumeric ID.
We gather this type of information so
that we can refine and personalize the
content that you and other visitors will
see on our website. Cookies help us
identify
1.
repeat visitors to our
website,
2.
the path visitors take to get to our
website,
3.
visitors who came to our website as a
result of a banner ad on a third-party
website, and
4.
which pages or sections visitors view in
order to gauge the effectiveness of our
content.
We do not use cookies to gather personal
information such as a person’s name
or e-mail address. Please be assured that
any information we gather by the use of a
cookie is compiled on an aggregate,
anonymous basis.
In most cases, a visitor can refuse a
cookie and still fully navigate our
website. If you are uncomfortable
regarding the use of cookies on our
website, please keep in mind that most
browsers can be configured to warn you
each time a cookie is being sent, allow
you to opt-out of receiving a cookie or
disable the cookie feature so that no
cookies are stored on your computer. If
you are not sure whether your browser has
this capability, you should check with
the software manufacturer or your
Internet Service Provider.
Third parties might also create cookies
when you access their sites through links
posted on our sites. We do not have
access to these cookies or any
information that these cookies may
contain. Please contact the third-party
website for more information on their
policies regarding cookies.
Domain Names
In general, you can visit most parts of
the buchbinder.com website without
telling us who you are or revealing any
information about yourself. Our web
servers identify the domain names of
visitors, but this is not captured as
personally identifiable information. This
information is aggregated to measure the
number of visits, average time spent on
the website, pages viewed and similar
website usage information in order to
know how to improve the website’s
content.
How to Opt-Out of Web
Services
E-mail
If you provide us with your e-mail
address, you will occasionally receive
e-mails about new services, special
website features and other noteworthy

e-mails interesting and informative.
Please note that any e-mail sent to you
will also contain a message on how to opt
out of that type of mailing in the
future.
If you receive e-mail from us that you
would rather not receive, simply send us
an e-mail at our “Contact Us”
page containing your exact e-mail address

unsubscribe instructions set forth at the
bottom of each e-mail.
We do not share e-mail names collected
on our website for purposes of permitting
other companies to market to you through
e-mail. Providing us your e-mail address

unsolicited commercial e-mail from any
